Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Wetting of surfaces depends critically on defects which alter the shape of the drop. However, no experimental verification of forces owing to the three phase contact line deformation at single defects is available. We imaged the contact line of sliding drops on hydrophobic surfaces by video microscopy. From the deformation of the contact line, we calculate the force acting on a sliding drop using an equation going back to Joanny and de Gennes (J. Chem. Phys., 81 (1984) 554). The calculated forces quantitatively agree with directly measured forces acting between model defects and water drops. In addition, both forces quantitatively match with the force calculated by contact angle differences between the defect and the surface. The quantitative agreement even holds for defects reaching a size of 40% of the drop diameter. Our validation for drop's pinning forces at single defects is an important step towards a general understanding of contact line motion on heterogeneous surfaces.
